A man that was no stranger to living his life to the fullest. It deepens me that his life was taken at such an early age. But to love Alonzo, you had to know him. I'm thankful that he was one that I got to know as my little brother and friend. For now I say, farewell. Tomorrow, I will say hello again my brother.

To the family, you are in my thoughts and prayers.
